Former congresswoman and one-time presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard has backed GOP congressional candidate and Michigan state Sen. Tom Barrett days after Republican Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) endorsed his Democratic opponent.
“I’m here and really proud to support fellow veteran Tom Barrett, who’s stepping up to serve and lead our country in a time of need in Congress. Having served in Congress for eight years on the Armed Services and Foreign Affairs Committees, I know firsthand that a vote for Slotkin is a vote for more war,” Gabbard said in a video exclusively provided to Fox News Digital by the Barrett campaign.
Barrett’s race is currently a toss-up for Michigan’s 7th Congressional District against Cheney-backed Democrat Rep. Elissa Slotkin.
“[Slotkin] represents all that is wrong with permanent Washington and the warmongers who are in control. Tom Barrett knows what service means. He knows what sacrifice means and appreciates freedom. He will be a loud voice for the people of Michigan in this district and a voice for peace, prosperity and freedom,” the former Hawaii congresswoman said.
Cheney plans to campaign with Slotkin as she seeks re-election.
“It’s no surprise the Cheney family is joining her, and it exposes the permanent Washington establishment’s War-First, America-Last agenda. Slotkin can keep Cheney while I work to keep America out of senseless wars,” Barrett told Fox News Digital following Cheney’s endorsement of his Democratic challenger.
